My body said it all last Saturday at the Thanksgiving Point Half Marathon. I AM OUT OF SHAPE.. I looked through some pictures of this half marathon and compared it to my last marathon and I wanted to cry. Needless to say I was ashamed of myself, my time and the way I have let my body go. I have lost a lot that I had gained. So instead of feeling sorry for myself on this most recent half marathon, focusing on how much weight I had gained from the last marathon and how slow my time was I get to move forward and focus. I have more desire now…

I think the pictures say it all. 13.1 miles later I never thought I would be able to walk again. I did smile after I quit purging everything from my system.. The video shows how awesome my family truely is!

So I did it again.. there is just something empowering about being able to complete a 5K. On June 27th I joined in on the fight against Scleroderma (which is a skin disease) and helped raise money for the foundation by running in this 5K with my two friends Andrea & Mackel. My time was not as good as the first 5K I did, but it didn’t help me that I didn’t run the whole week before the race due to being up in Idaho. But I felt good that I completed it. We turned around and went up to Idaho again for the second time in 2 weeks for…

I am old.. okay so not really I just FEEL old especially next to my 12 year old son that can run 3 miles in 19 minutes. Maeli’s school did a fundraiser 1 mile fun run / 5K race. My family didn’t know that the 1 mile race was an option because I told them it was only a 5K and signed them up for it. Justin gave me a hard time when he realized there was the option of only doing a mile. Had he known that I think he would have done the mile instead. I am so sneaky aren’t I?? I figured if I had to endure…

Results after just one month of Body Boot Camp: 1. I can run for a solid mile and a half WITHOUT STOPPING!! 2. I have more energy! 3. A white pair of pants I bought 2 years ago that I could never get past my knees can now be pulled up & buttoned (still a bit tight) but SOON I can wear them on a regular basis! 4. I can do more than one push up!! (although I still extremely dislike them) 5. I have noticed how sluggish I feel when I don’t eat healthy! 6. I have officially stopped looking at the scale everyday! I refuse to let the…

Kaden has always had the determination to try anything. When he was 5 years old he asked for a snowboard for Christmas even though he had never been snowboarding he still was determined to try. He didn’t get the snowboard for Christmas so for his sixth Birthday in July he asked for it again, still not getting it. By the next Christmas I learned that once Kaden sets his mind to something he does NOT give up on the idea until he gets it. So I bought him the snowboard & from day one he has taken it on & loved it. He was this way with wakeboarding also he…

Join a team of others and work to achieve positive results PUKE…GASP…PAIN…ENDURANCE… Did I say puke?So I told myself at the beginning of the year that I was NOT going to “diet” as one of my new year’s resolutions instead I was going to just start eating a little healthier & see what happened. Then my work introduced a program called “Evco Fit” which pays out $500 (of anything you do or purchase towards getting healthy) at the end of the year for losing 10% of your body weight & keeping it off until…
